Border Foods, a Minnesota company originally organized by Sentinel Capital Partners and management, owns, operates, and franchises 170 Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC restaurants in Minnesota, and has exclusive rights to develop the Taco Bell brand in that state.

In 1996, Sentinel Capital Partners orgainzed and financed Border Foods to acquire its initial 75 restaurants from Taco Bell Corporation, at the time a subsidiary of Pepsico, in a carveout transaction. Taco Bell, with $6.0 billion in systemwide revenues and more than 6,800 restaurants, is the largest Mexican food Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) operation in the United States and the fourth largest QSR operation nationwide. Strucured as a franchisor, Taco Bell has a 70% share of the Mexican food QSR market, both nationwide and in Minnesota.

In December 1999, after achieving substantially all of its investment objectives, Sentinel sold its interest in Border Foods to management in a recapitalization transaction. Under Sentinel's ownership, Border Foods was transformed into a standalone business with its own management and corporate infrastructure from a regional group of stores tightly integrated into Taco Bell's existing backbone. During this period, Border Foods' sales and profitability grew substantially. With its management as the majority owner, Border Foods is aggressively expanding its existing core Taco Bell business and its newly acquired Pizza Hut and KFC franchises.

Sentinel originated, sponsored and provided the private equity financing for the original formation of Border Foods and structured and arranged debt financing for the recapitalization. It is also the only U.S. private equity firm to have secured exclusive statewide development rights from Taco Bell. Border Foods is well positioned to acquire additional restaurants from Tricon Global Restaurants (NYSE: YUM), the current parent company of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC, which operates one of the largest worldwide QSR operations with more than 25,000 units.

Consistently ranked among the top franchise organizations in the U.S., Cottman continues to grow by aggressively franchising new centers and by selectively acquiring independent transmission repair chains. This growth is driven by several positive industry trends: an aging U.S. vehicle population; increased popularity of front-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles that have more complex transmissions; a return to high-performance/high-output engines that place more strain on transmissions; and greater use of computers in automobiles that make transmission repair a more specialized and costly service.

Sentinel Capital Partners and Cottman's management team acquired the company in a buyout transaction in July 1999. Sentinel originated and sponsored the acquisition, arranged the debt and provided private equity financing.

In March 2004, after achieving substantially all of its investment objectives within four-and-a-half years, Sentinel sold Cottman to American Capital Strategies, Ltd.

Floral Plant Growers, L.L.C., headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, produces, markets and sells specialty floriculture products to lawn and garden centers of mass-merchant retailers. Floral's primarily product is bedding plants, which are small-blooming flowers sold in trays for planting in gardens or flower boxes. This segment of the horticulture business generates $2 billion per year in revenues and has grown at 10% annually for the past 10 years.

The graying of America, which has helped make gardening one of the nation's most popular leisure activities, continues to fuel industry growth. While big-box retailers such as Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart and Target are enjoying profitable growth in the lawn and garden category, many smaller floriculture suppliers lack the sophistication and resources to adequately serve the mass-merchant channel. Managing more than 70 acres of production capacity in five highly automated greenhouses in Maryland, Delaware, Wisconsin, Iowa and Indiana, Floral's strategy is to execute an industry consolidation by acquiring these smaller companies.

Sentinel Capital Partners acquired Floral in October 1996 in a buyout transaction that involoved a transition from founding family ownership. Sentinel originated and sponsored the acquisition, arranged the debt financing and provided the private equity financing.

In October 2004, after achieving substantially all of its investment objectives within eight years, Sentinel sold Floral to Blue Point Capital Partners.

One evening in Decatur, Georgia, he saw a boy meeting friends after football practice holding his helmet in one hand and a football in the other. It looked as if the group were "huddled up" talking and laughing together. It was at that moment he decided that Huddle House was the perfect name for the restaurant chain and it would be the place where folks would gather, or "huddle up," for great food and good times after Friday night football games.

Met Merchandising Concepts, located in Chicago, Illinois, designs and manufactures high-quality fixtures, forms, and displays for upscale retail stores. Met has established a leading position in the visual merchandising industry and serves a diverse group of prominent department store, specialty store, and branded consumer product companies operating vendor shops within retail stores. During the past several years, retailers and branded consumer companies have increasingly developed consistent identities to market and differentiate their products.

The development and acceptance of the store-within-a-store or vendor-shop concept have caused department stores to evolve into a series of separate brand environments, with vendors heavily influencing the visual presentation of their merchandise. These changes have also led department stores to outsource more of the in-store design function to visual display companies such as Met. The company's leading-edge design and product development expertise combined with its manufacturing, delivery and installation capabilities allow Met to offer one-stop solutions to its customers.

In 1997, Sentinel Capital Partners originated, sponsored, and, together with management, provided the private equity financing in a recapitalization of Met Merchandising.

In June 1999, Sentinel and management sold Met to Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (NYSE:LEG). With sales and net income in excess of $3.5 billion and $250 million, respectively, Leggett is a leading manufacturer of component and finished products for the furniture industry. Leggett is actively pursuing acquisitions in the fixture and display industry. Met represents an attractive strategic fit for Leggett and gives Leggett access to upscale customers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi's, Timberland and Liz Claiborne. Sentinel and management decided to sell Met after only eighteen months because substantially all of the investment's original objectives had been achieved.

Fridays differentiates itself from other casual dining restaurants through its unique positioning as a “casual dining bar.” The bar-centric concept—to which the social experience of customers is as central as the restaurants’ high-quality food and drinks—is embodied in Fridays’ name and motto: “In Here It’s Always Friday.” Fridays is known for inventing the “happy hour” and introducing Long Island iced tea, potato skins, and Jack Daniels-branded food items to American casual dining.

Tony Roma's, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is the franchisor of Tony Roma's restaurants. With 260 restaurants in 25 states and 19 foreign countries, Tony Roma's is the largest national casual dining chain specializing in ribs. The Tony Roma's name and its "Famous for Ribs" and "A Place for Ribs" slogans are familiar throughout the United States, especially in Florida, Texas and California where the majority of restaurants are located.

In 1998, Sentinel acquired a controlling interest in Tony Roma's, a subsidiary of NPC International, Inc., in a corporate carveout transaction. NPC is the largest franchisee in the Pizza Hut system with more than 850 units, and continues to own a minority stake in Tony Roma's. The recapitalization positions Tony Roma's for aggressive growth in the United States and internationally. Sentinel originated, sponsored and negotiated the transaction, arranged the senior debt financing, and provided the private equity financing.

After holding the investment for more than seven years, in March 2006, Sentinel sold Tony Roma's.
